lyrics

they say that girl is every perfect family man's dream
she smiles at pictures with no single hint of irony
she wakes up happy for a day that starts at seven, one hour earlier
she doesn't care about the poetry of lightning
she doesn't put on psychedelic music to sleep
she doesn't call her mom, 'cause she's no longer a kid
no, no, no, no

indeed, she is the queen of the mainstream
but not you, not you
you're so strange, girl
and that's what I love about you

they say that girl sees life as a stroll in the courtyard
of a thousand princes-charming begging for a favor
she's bright and sunny even when it starts to rain in a lazy pool sunday
she has no love for posting cryptic pictures online
she has no nerve for breaking countryside conventions
she has no semblance of anything spontaneous
let her dream in her bed of lilac sheets

oh yes, she is the goddess of normalcy
unlike you, oh you
you're so strange, girl
and that's what I love about you

she is the queen of the mainstream
she is the goddess of normalcy

she's the plastic smile, you're different
she's the overused line, you're different
she's the predictable pop song, you're different
she's the one-way road ahead, you're different
she's the canned tv show, you're different
she's the reunion tour, you're different
and that's what I love about you
